While Ethan Martin wasn't directly involved in the incident and cannot be punished for it, the connection is possible and the evidence is on YouTube. Perhaps Cody thought up a clever way to get revenge on his brother's behalf or maybe the idea was Ethan's all along. Or even crazier, perhaps Matt Hill was acting alone and called for the fastball with the full intention of ducking out of the way. No matter what, we can't judge these kids for their transgressions because we just don't have the authority, the proper perspective, or even all the pertinent information.

Still, don't you find it amusing that Martin was drafted by the Dodgers? None of this would have happened if the catcher hadn't intentionally dodged that pitch.
